Re: [microsound] RE: summertime project?



You might be on to something here..

The microkorg thing I wanted to do for Robotopera sort of had this in mind..
I am sure there are lots of such devices, but the microkorg is battery
powered so you can take it to the beach. There's also a mixer by behringer
that is battery operated, fyi.

That stuff aside,

Why not make this thing simpler and more literal and just make the
summertime project all about using sound sources exclusively from a trip to
the beach?

Or to take it slightly further, any sounds associated with stereotypical
summer events (ice cream trucks, lawnmowers, crashing waves..). Confining
things to the beach makes for tighter guidelines though..

Either way, definitely want to participate in something.. Hopefully we don't
talk about it on here all summer instead.. It's easy to ;)
